Book Review - Eerie Elementary: Recess Is a Jungle!

About the Book
This series is part of Scholastic's early chapter book line called Branches, which is aimed at newly independent readers. With easy-to-read text, high-interest content, fast-paced plots, and illustrations on every page, these books will boost reading confidence and stamina. Branches books help readers grow!

Sam, Antonio, and Lucy are passing around a soccer ball at recess when something strange happens... They soon find themselves in a fog-filled jungle! The grass and trees have come alive, growing high into the sky. And the friends discover that it's not just the school itself that's alive -- it's everything on the school grounds! Sam, Antonio, and Lucy must find their way out of a monstrous hedge maze in time to rescue the rest of the students!

My Take on the Book
My youngest has been devouring these books for some time so she was excited to hear that a new book was available. When we received this she took it and did not want to put it down. So as you can guess the book is engaging and is a ton of fun. The book is full of suspense and some mystery and really does not give anything away until the very end. By the end of my own daughter reading this book she was ready for book 4, but alas she will have to wait!
